Trailer of ‘Student of the year’ to be released on August 2

Year 2012 seems to
be a treat for the Hindi movie-loving populace. ‘Kahani’, ‘Hosefull2’, ‘Rowdy
Rathore’, ‘Vicky Donor’ , ‘Ek mai aur Ek Tu’, ‘Bol Bachchan’, ‘Cocktail’; it
seems already too much . Well the party is not over yet. KJo’s (Karan
Johar) latest movie ‘Student of the Year ’ is set to be released on 19th October
2012.

It has been a while
since Karan has called the shots behind the camera. So it will be interesting
to watch out for this movie which promises a lot. It is a joint venture of
Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and Shah Rukh’s Red Chilles Entertainment, two
of the biggest banners of Indian Cinema. This is the first movie where SRK
hasn’t been cast by KJo , though he makes a guest appearance along with Kajol .

The cast of the
movie has some interesting names. It marks the debut of Alia Bhatt, younger
daughter of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt; Varun Dhawan , son of director David Dhawan
and Kayoze Irani, son of actor Boman
Irani and newcomer Siddharth Malhotra . Rishi Kapoor plays a gay as Dean
Yoginder Vasisht, which will be a funny bone tickling performance. The other significant
names included in the cast are Sana Sayeed , Ronit Roy, Kitu Gidwani, Ram
Kapoor and Gautami Gadgil Kapoor .The music for the movie has been composed by
Vishal-Shekhar.

The movie went on
the floors on 16th August 2011, with the Mahurat function being
attended by socialite Parameshwar Godrej. The movie has been shot in Kasiga School
(Dehradun), the name of which has been changed to St. Teresa. Apart from that
the other shooting places include Shimla, Kashmir and Thailand.

There were some
freak incidents while shooting for the film. Boman Irani fainted while shooting
in Thailand due to the extreme heat. Later he tweeted he was okay. Also Varun
Dhawan got injured on the on the sets. He was rushed to the hospital but within
a few weeks he resumed shooting with a fractured forehead.

The posters of the
movie were first released in Jan by Karan. The youthful, energetic feel from them
seems to create a déjà vu feel of the ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ movie. We wish Karan
and ShahRukh lot of success with this movie.
